The Letter to the Hebrews   4: 1-5, 11

4:1 Therefore, we should be afraid, lest the promise of entering into his rest may be relinquished, and some of you may be judged to be lacking.
4:2 For this was announced to us in a similar manner as to them. But the mere hearing of the word did not benefit them, since it was not joined together with a faith in those things that they heard.
4:3 For we who have believed shall enter into rest, in the same manner as he said: “So it is as I have sworn in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!” And certainly, this is when the works from the foundation of the world have been finished.
4:4 For, in a certain place, he spoke about the seventh day in this manner: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
4:5 And in this place again: “They shall not enter into my rest!”
4:11 Therefore, let us hasten to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of unbelief.
